ulation at the West was threatening disturb
ance and the usual fall demand for money was
approaching. Some banks sturdily refused
loans in aid Of the wheat deal, eagerly pressed
upon them on behalf of Cincinnati parties, and
they have their reward. Others did not refuse,
and DOW the calling Of local loans, which such
ventures outside made inevitable, is carefully
attributed to speculative locking up of money.
The sequence from the failure of the wheat
gamble to the temporary stringcncy of money
is as straight and obvious as the sequence from
political imitation last fall to season OF
wild speculation this spring.
The stock market fell on Friday, reckoning
the lowest prices touched, to an average OF
500 63, the level Of last January, but it re-
covered rapidly, and closed on Saturday at an
average of $67 ~, which is about the level at
which the market stagnated for two months
from January % to March 10. Under the CIR
cumstancos the sharp recovery indicated greater
strength than many had expected TO see. But
cheap money abroad and low exchange are i'm
po,tant forces, and the offer of the Treasury
TO paw interest without rebate was not sur
prise, apparently, to people likely to get carly
word from Washington.
Liquidation is a necessary process after every
pcriod of initiation and speculation, and there
are securities and products that may yet have
TO find their level before confidence can be en-
tircly restored Wheat dropped II certs
for the week, but June is still held TO cents
above cash wheat Corn and oats changed but
but little and polk is still held in the clouds by
Chicago manipuators. Coffee yielded three
quarters of cent oil 3-S cents, cheese and
eggs declined, and cotton fell thrcc-cighths but
advanced again on Saturday. The refusal OF
iron manufacturers to grant the increase in
wages demanded by the Amagamatcd Asso-
! citation may prove important, but the collapse
Of the builders strike at Chicago and the aban-
donment of the strike by the Knights OF Labo OF
in mary Massachusetts shoe shops remove serl-
ous difficulties. Exchange declined, and gold
is believed by many to be already on It's way
bithcr. though the imports for tho last month
still show an increase of 16 per cent over last
wear. while exports still fall short Of last year
by 3 per cent for the month. The treasury
paid out as much money as it took In last week.
besides increasing it's deposits with the banks.
In short. the unliquidatcd specuations OF var'-
ous kinds constitute the only present menace
TO prosperity.

of the United States involves remuneration
of the Treaty of 1918 and a return to that OF
1888. He raises the practical objection that
even il q treaty can be set aside by one party
only. the obnoxious laws of Canada may be
enforced under one treaty as well as the other.
The American fleet to be sure, would have
under tho older convention the right to fish
within the three-mic limit; but only two Of
the one hundred seizures and exclusions made
under color of Canadian law last season were
grounded upon that Treaty restriction. The
other ninety eight forfciturcs and arbitrary
acts would not have been prevented II the
Treaty Of 1888 had been in force. ms I'M

holds that so long rs commerce Is interrupted
and preyed upon by CaEada such retaliation
measures as Congress has enacted must be re-
lied on for just and adequate defence.
Two plain issues are involved in this COR
trovcIsy, and we regret that the Harvard
treatise has not defined them with greater dis
tinctncss. First. the Americans have historic
rights in the Canadian fisheries by virtue Of
the assistance rendered in the original con-
quest of the French Colonies. Those rights,
fully recognized in the Treaty of l7S3, were
partially rcarraDged in 1918, but never re-
nounccd Those rights belong TO the United
States as indisputaby as the coast of New
England or the south shore of the great lakes.
Secondly, the commercial privileges mutually
granted in 1880 are not to be respected on one
side of tho border and openly disregaded on
the other. Retaliation is the only logical
sequel to fragrant violations Of the laws of 1880
and the twenty-ninth article of the Treaty Of
Washin ptOn.

TILE TOLLITER FETD.

The recent killing of Craig TOllivcr and
several of his family by shenl's posse ut
Morehcad. Kentucky, marked the close of the
last act in strange barbaric drama. 1t Is one
of the most singular facts in contemporary
American life that side by side with civllza-
ton as high as any extant there exists a bar
barism which seems to belong to tho Middle
Ages. Craig Tollivcr was certainly not a mod
cln. nor were his kith and kin, or the men who
fought him and his for years., or the people
who looked on and did nothing to check or
hinder the long series of savage crimes which
has lust eliminated in the death of the leader
of the dcspcladocs. For number OF years
there has been n vendetta between the Toll
vcrs ard the Martins. which came by degrees
10 include two or three other families and
perhaps a hundred souls more or less. All
these people on both sides fought whenever
they met. or laid ambushcs for one another.
or had recourse to assassination without COM
junction Murder outrage, cruelty of every
kind. marked the progress Of the abominable
fcud. The clans were being thlnncd out by
degrees, and at the same time they were re-
cciving training in crime admirably adapting
them to become the terror and curse OF the
COUNTRYSIDE Craig Tolhvcr had long been
the most reckless ruffian in wide region.
Presently he went into politics, forced his OVID
election as a magistrate, and n once prostitutes
his office to the numerous satisfaction Of his
revenge.
II is almost Incredible. but nevertheless true,
that this man caused two of his enemies to be
arrested on trumpcd-up charges, and then with
his gang Of assassins fell upon them while they
were in custody and murdered them. Even
that atrocity failed TO break the apathy OF the
public among whom Tollivcr lived. The feel
ing that produced this tolcratioD certainly was
not fear. for those people are accustomed TO
take their lives in their hands. Pre-
sumably it was simply defect of moral scnsl-
bility They really did not understand that
Tollivers acts were infamous. How many
bloody graves we're filed from first to last by
the fcud no one seems to know, but it IL
certain that scores fell and that what was
originally vendetta gradually changed its
character and became an organized warfare on
society. In any civilized part Of the earth
Craig Tollivcr would have graced gallows
wears ago, and his followers would have been
put in the penitcntiary if not barScd. In the
South however, murder and outrage are still
regarded with eniency in many places, and the
counties which acknowledged the sway OF
Tollivcr and his band so long represented the
EXTREMIST force of this discreditable tolerance.
The history Of this feud shows that Kentucky
Yields nothing to Corsica in the ferocty and
persistence with which the vendetta is pursued.
The orc consolatory circumstance in all this
crime and savagcry is the certainty that the
mcdi ayal r,ilianism concerned must eventually
cxtiDgush itself through the action of its own
favoritc principles.

TIE FISHERIES DISCUSSION.

The literature Of the fisheries question is
growing rapidly. A cOlorless and conservative
treatise on the origin, history and existing
complications Of this international dispute has
been prepared at Harvard College and added
to the Putnams's popular series of Questions
of the Dayv "The American Law Review
improves upon this non partisan but incirec-
tive method of dealing with the subject by
publishing two ARTICLES, contributed from OPP
posite sides of the border One is written by
A. H. Marsh law partner of the Canadian
Prime Minister, and presents tho Government
argument in favor Of the closest and narrowed
construction of the Treaty of 1918. The other
is an cpcn letter addressed To Senator Morgan
by OK Judge Woodbury.. orc OF the leading
advocates of American fishermen. The editor
also adds some comments of his own, dcclalm-
ing with unnecessary fervor against the con.
tngency of war between English speaking ma
tons over a beggarly kettle of fish. That
contingency is too remote to be seriously
discussed in either country. No Americas In
his sober senses imagines that this is one OF
| those international questions which must final
| w be submitted to the arbitramcDt Of arms.
1t is an international quarrel which will be
peaceably settled in accordance with treaty
obligations and international law
The Canadian advocate takes his stand upon
the renunciatory clause of the Treaty of 1918.
and discusses the American claims as a series
of "subtleties, shifts and evasions7 of clear
and unmistakable treaty rights. The super
fetal nature of the argument may be illus
trnted with reference to the American claim
that the Treaty has been repeatedly violated
by the British officials. Mr.. Marsh contends
that the alleged violations consist merely in
the enforcement of the provisions of the
Treaty as interpreted by the British Govern
mcnt respecting the purchase Of bait, the deep
sea fisheries and other details. This does
scant Justice to the American case. The Treaty
Of 1918 distinctly authorizes American fisher
men to enter Canadian ports for the purpose
of obtaining shelter, repairing damages and
purchasing wood and water American vessels
were denied these privileges on many occasions
last summer. Every denial Of these rights
was an unmistal1able violation Of the Treaty
Mr.. Marsh finds it inconvenient to meet these
issues Of fact, and leaves them out of account
altogether. Equally unfair and misleading Is
his discussion Of the decp-sea fisheries and the
exchange Of commercial privileges provided
| for by the engagements Of 1880.
